Overseas voting
-
I think it is rather unfair to overseas Singaporeans like me
Look at the questions
Qualifier Question :
How do you qualify for registration as an overseas voter?
(Click only one appropriate option)
(a) I am a member of the Singapore Armed Forces on full-time training or service outside Singapore;
(b) I am a public officer/an employee of the public authority, employed in full-time service outside Singapore;
(c) I am a public officer/an employee of the public authority, on full-time training outside Singapore;
(d) I am a citizen of Singapore of not less than 21 years of age on full-time training outside Singapore that is sponsored by the Government/the public authority;
(e) I am employed outside Singapore by an international organisation.
(f) I am the spouse/parent/child/dependant of any person referred to in sub-paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and is living with that person.
(g) I am not a resident in Singapore but have resided in Singapore for an aggregate of 2 years during the period of 5 years immediately preceding 31/08/2004 (cut-off date).
As you can see ...public authority , government and saf employees are good to vote outside singapore, no matter how long they stay out.
This is no fun....never mind I will fly back to Singapore and go out again to qualify. Some annual leave coming again

Can the term "international organisation" be used to define a trans-national corporation?
Anyway, the system does not allow overseas students any franchise unless they have accumulated up to 730 days at home during the past 5 years.
BTW, how soon is the election? I might have to register online if they hold it anytime before 6/05. -

So crap man! Overseas, so ur vote doesn't count. Practically no one qualifies for the mentioned categories. Not that it matters in my case, as my area is another walk over with no opposition once again.
